SGD garden design awards 2014: the winners

What the judges said: “A contemporary design has been layered with the
historic landscape to create an exciting and serene composition. The whole
garden is beautifully done and gives a feeling of space and cohesion.
Introduced, native and naturalised species have been combined to develop
exciting and challenging planting combinations which are displayed in a wide
variety of contexts from fantastic borders to ecologically-driven wetlands.
Architectural elements such as screens, hard landscape terraces and the
entrance driveway have been designed with great skill and to be in scale
with the house and surrounding landscape. It is a garden full of surprises.”
